00:53Bitcoin crossed the $100,000 mark for the first time today, a month and a half after Donald Trump's election in the United States.
01:09His Majesty, King Mohammed VI presided on Wednesday a Council of Ministers dedicated to the state of preparation for the World Cup 2030,
01:22organized by Morocco, Spain and Portugal.
01:25Back on the headlines of this meeting with Alaa Ben Ali.
01:31The Council of Ministers on Wednesday, presided by His Majesty, King Mohammed VI,
01:37focused on preparations for the joint organization of the World Cup 2030 with Spain and Portugal.
01:44In effect, His Majesty, King Mohammed VI, ordered the establishment of an enlarged committee
01:50consisting of representatives of civil society, Moroccans living abroad and African experts.
01:56This mobilization aims to accelerate the implementation of several strategic projects,
02:01namely the level-up of stadiums to meet international standards,
02:07the modernization of infrastructures, in particular the renovation of airports,
02:11the densification of intra-urban rail networks and the improvement of hotel infrastructures.
02:17The enlarged committee will also be in charge of strengthening public services,
02:22including medical care, telecommunications and training programs for young people.
02:27Finally, the valorization of territories through an integrated level-up program,
02:33extending beyond the cities.
02:35In conclusion of his speech, Fouzir Kheja asserted that this competition will not only be a sporting event,
02:42but also a lever to accelerate economic growth, create jobs,
02:48develop the tourist attraction of Morocco and promote the values of peace and unity.
02:54This session of the Council of Ministers reaffirms the determination of the Kingdom of Morocco
02:59to make the World Cup 2030 a planetary success.
03:03It is part of the continuity of the high royal orientations,
03:07aiming to position the Kingdom as a major actor on the international scene in the sports field.
03:15Direction le Qatar, Doha, where Princess Laila Hasna and Sheikh Al-Maysa bin Samad Al-Thani
03:22presided the Qatar Fashion Show.
03:25An exceptional show that celebrates the excellence and creativity of traditional Moroccan haute couture,
03:31organized as part of the Cultural Year Qatar-Moroc 2024.
03:35This friendly show in honor of the Moroccan creators of Qatar,
03:40who were able to transform their dreams into unique creations mixing tradition and modernity.
03:58And then in France, the day after a historic censorship,
04:01Michel Barnier presented this Thursday his resignation to President Emmanuel Macron,
04:06who will speak at 8 p.m. on television to try to fix a cap
04:11while a political period of rare uncertainty opens.
04:15When will the new Prime Minister be appointed?
04:18The entourage of the head of state did not provide any precision,
04:22but several relatives of the President entrusted him that he intended to do it quickly.
04:27France could therefore have a new head of government as soon as tonight,
04:32The political crisis opened with the dissolution of the National Assembly.
04:36On June 9, it crossed an immediate cap.
04:38The former European Commissioner was released by a comfortable majority of 331 deputies.
04:44Immediately after the censorship, the head of the deputies of France Insoumise
04:48called for anticipated presidential elections.
04:51Marine Le Pen did not formally ask for a resignation of the President.
04:57She estimated that the pressure in her place will obviously be stronger and stronger
05:01if we do not take the voice of respect of the voters.
05:09In the news also, Bitcoin crossed this Thursday for the very first time the $100,000 mark.
05:17A month just after the election in the United States of Donald Trump,
05:22fervent promoter of cryptocurrencies.
05:26The Trump effect ended up doping the most important cryptocurrency.
05:30By capitalization, around 3 hours GMT,
05:34Bitcoin traded at $103,800,044.
05:43A record at such a level, far from being imagined.
05:46Sixteen years ago, during the creation of the currency,
05:49it made credible a little more the sector of digital assets,
05:53sometimes subjected to controversies,
05:55which sees as an omen the return of the Republican leader to the White House,
06:00especially with Elon Musk on his side.
06:02Donald Trump swears he will make the United States the world capital of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
06:09Its share has soared by more than 8% from Wednesday to Thursday night,
06:14at the origin of this feverish access.
06:17The elected president announced that he plans to appoint Republican lawyer Paul Atkins
06:23as head of the US regulatory authority for financial markets.
06:32In South Korea, the police announced this Thursday
06:35an investigation for rebellion against President Yoon Suk-hyen
06:39after his failed attempt to impose martial law.
06:43The case is ongoing.
06:45This is what the head of the National Police Investigations said in front of the deputies.
06:49South Korean President Yoon Suk-hyen is facing a procedure of destitution
06:56after attempting to impose martial law on Tuesday
06:59to blackmail the parliament by sending soldiers and helicopters.
07:03It is a case of political and personal crisis.
07:07To the general surprise, the conservative president appeared late at night on television
07:13announcing that he was decreeing martial law to protect South Korea
07:18from the threats posed by the North Korean communist forces
07:21and to eliminate hostile elements in the state.
07:24Since his election in 2022, with the country's narrowest margin in history
07:29against the leader of the Democratic Party,
07:31the conservative president has never had a majority in parliament.
07:42The rebels in Syria encircle Hamas' big city in the center of the country
07:48after an offensive from the north.
07:51The Syrian army is trying to repel them.
07:54The rebels encircled Hamas on three sides last night.
08:00According to the OSDH, they are three to four kilometers from the city
08:06after violent clashes.
08:08The government forces have only one exit towards Homs.
08:12To the south, the NGO added in the space of a week.
08:16To the general surprise, the rebels seized a large part of Aleppo,
08:21the country's second city.
08:23They continue their offensive with Hamas,
08:26a strategic city for Bashar al-Assad's regime.
08:30The combats and bombings, which killed 704 people in 116 cities,
08:36according to the OSDH,
08:39are the first of this magnitude since 2020 in Syria,
08:44when a devastating war broke out in 2011.
08:48They killed many civilians, according to the United Nations.
08:55In the Democratic Republic of Congo,
08:58at least nine civilians were killed by ADF rebels,
09:02the Allied Democratic Forces,
09:04in the northeast of the country,
09:06two days after another killing committed by this armed group.
09:11This attack took place Tuesday around 7 p.m. local time
09:16in Tenombo, in the province of North Kivu,
09:22an area regularly bombed by ADF killers, according to local authorities.
09:29We mourn the death of nine civilians killed,
09:32five injured, 15 houses set on fire,
09:35said Colonel Michel Mbala,
09:38commander of the police in the territory of Beni,
09:41a report confirmed by several local sources,
09:46and which could be heard.
09:53Côte d'Ivoire is today the country
09:55where the most important legal system for taking care of disabled people
09:59is in West Africa.
10:01Authorities put an emphasis on taking care of these people
10:05and intend to go even further for the happiness of the population.
10:09Here is Stéphane Soumaoro and Herman Doggo.
10:15On the occasion of the International Day of Disabled People,
10:19Côte d'Ivoire is setting up a state of the action
10:22in favor of disabled people
10:24and is setting the stage for a more inclusive and sustainable future.
10:27And the social and professional integration of these disabled people
10:31remains at the heart of the Ivorian government's solidarity policy.
10:36It is a strong message that we address to the world,
10:41that of an inclusive Côte d'Ivoire,
10:44where every citizen, whatever their abilities,
10:47actively contributes to national development.
10:51It is a way of reminding that inclusion is a wealth
10:55and that every citizen, with or without a disability,
10:59has a central role to play in the construction of our beautiful nation.
11:06The organizations of disabled people,
11:08gathered this December 4 in Yopougon,
11:11have received nearly 5,000 orthopedic equipment.
11:14They have also received the assurance of the authorities
11:17to go even further in their social commitment.
11:20We had the opportunity to address the problems of the time,
11:23the employment problems, but above all,
11:25the problems of disabled students who are suffering on campus
11:28due to the dissolution of the GFCI,
11:31the Disabled Student Group taken over by the government.
11:34We are here to demand that the employment and actions of the ministry
11:37are more concrete, and I think we have the right answer.
11:40The Prime Minister said that they will find a structural approach,
11:44and we believe in it.
11:46The President of the National Assembly of Côte d'Ivoire,
11:48Adama Biktogo, and also Mayor of Yopougon,
11:52reassured the disabled of his support
11:55and that of the Head of State, Alassane Ouattara.
11:59I have provided 30 million francs per year
12:02to support people with disabilities in Yopougon.
12:07And we were able to identify a land
12:10to build three free houses.
12:13In the number of 300 houses built,
12:16we have planned 50 houses for people with disabilities.
12:22Recalling that in Côte d'Ivoire,
12:24there are nearly 500,000 people who live with a disability.
12:29Around the kingdom,
12:31and we take the direction of Dakhla,
12:33the send-off of the African Forum
12:35in the industry, fishing and aquaculture,
12:38Seafood for Africa,
12:40was given yesterday in the presence of a plenary of actors
12:44from the African halitic sector.
12:46This three-day forum is part of the promotion
12:49of the fishing industry sector
12:52for the period 2024-2026.
12:55It aims mainly to strengthen economic growth,
12:59social progress and the promotion of seafood products
13:03in the context of sustainability in its broad sense
13:07by innovation, good governance,
13:09the acceleration of intra-African trade,
13:12the development of aquaculture and decarbonization.
13:15Let's listen together to the President of the Dakhla region,
13:18Elkhattata Yenjar,
13:20and the President of the National Federation of Transformation
13:23and the Valuation of Products of Fishing,
13:26Hassan Sintissi El Edressi.
13:32Seafood for Africa is a crucial event.
13:36First, the organization of this event in Dakhla is not insignificant.
13:40Dakhla is today at the heart of development in general,
13:45and particularly in the fishing and aquaculture sectors,
13:49which are regional, national economic levers,
13:52but also which have a continental momentum.
13:56This is why the theme today is an important theme
14:01that has been chosen.
14:03It is about sustainability,
14:05it is about strengthening value chains,
14:08it is about boosting trade between Morocco and African countries,
14:14but also it is an opportunity to exchange good practices and experiences.
14:18Morocco is here, it is opening up,
14:21and His Majesty has already launched several initiatives
14:25in the context of South-South trade.
14:30And Dakhla today presents itself as an emerging hub
14:35with an Atlantic port that will be completed very soon.
14:41And we are preparing to play the role that suits us,
14:44that comes back to us,
14:46to boost trade between us and African countries.
14:50Philippe, whom I preside over,
14:52has been committed for a long time to diversify our sales and purchases.
15:00But as our beloved king had announced and dictated,
15:07it seemed to us that it was quite normal
15:11to create and organize a forum
15:15where only Africans would be among them,
15:20and so we will try to boost our trade,
15:24both in the purchase and in the sale,
15:27and to prove that Africa is able to manage its own profits.
15:34Right away, we have the guest of the major media morning newspaper.
15:39His Majesty, King Mohammed VI,
15:42presided over a Council of Ministers at the Arabian Palace on Wednesday,
15:46during which several important issues were addressed,
15:49including the preparations for the 2030 World Cup,
15:53the approval of international conventions
15:55and the transformation of the energy sector.
15:58To talk about it, we are live with Mr. Driss Aysaoui, political analyst.
16:04Hello Driss Aysaoui and thank you for being with us.
16:07Mr. Driss Aysaoui.
16:16Yes, hello.
16:18Hello.
16:20His Majesty, King Mohammed VI,
16:23presided over a Council of Ministers yesterday,
16:27marked by significant progress in the preparations
16:35for the joint organization of the 2030 World Cup.
16:39Can you come back to the points related to this major event?
16:48You know, the organization of the World Cup final 2030
16:55has been announced for a while.
16:57And this Council of Ministers meeting is an extremely important meeting
17:01because it brought together all the Moroccan officials
17:06concerned by this meeting, that is, at the ministerial level.
17:10And finally, His Majesty the King gave his initiatives
17:15to say, this is what we expect from this event.
17:19And in any case, the Council of Ministers meeting
17:22was an extremely important meeting
17:25because it allowed to focus on the latest preparations.
17:30And preparing the World Cup final 2030 is something extremely important
17:36because all the ministers were there to show the availability,
17:41the ability of Moroccans to welcome this global event
17:47with what is necessary as a means.
17:49And we know it today, the Kingdom of Morocco
17:53has taken the small steps in the big ones
17:56and it has given its impulse to all the construction sites
18:01that must, of course, meet the conditions for the success of this event.
18:07And the Council of Ministers meeting is a decision meeting.
18:12A number of decisions have been taken
18:15and it was sanctioned by this Royal Cabinet communique
18:21which explained that the Council of Ministers meeting
18:24was precisely this important event that we were all waiting for.
18:29The Sovereign, during this Council, ordered the establishment
18:33of an enlarged committee consisting of representatives of civil society,
18:38Moroccans living abroad and African experts.
18:43According to you, what role could this committee play
18:47in the organization of the World Cup 2030?
18:51You know, organizing the World Cup is a global event
18:55and Morocco must, of course, show,
18:58and I think that all the ministerial officials who were there
19:02gave their opinion, their point of view,
19:05but above all showed the great availability
19:09of all the branches of the Moroccan population to do so.
19:12This committee that has been created, of course,
19:15will give the means, will give the okay
19:19for everything that is ministerial organization.
19:23And I think it is a decision that was important
19:28and that, finally, this committee that will bring together civil society,
19:32ministers, Africans,
19:36because, in fact, everyone must be there to say,
19:40we have, because Morocco does not speak for itself,
19:43Morocco speaks for the whole football community,
19:47African, Moroccan, Arab, etc.
19:50And Morocco has an extraordinary experience to put in place
19:54because its diplomacy, for a very long time,
19:57has given, let's say the there,
20:00Morocco has given the explanation of everything that can be done
20:06so that all this succeeds.
20:08And the minister delegated to the budget gave the necessary explanations
20:14regarding, let's say, all the conditions for the success of this event.
20:20And I think that these are decisions...
20:22Precisely, Mr. Eissaoui, during this council,
20:26Minister Faouzi El-Khja presented an exhibition
20:29on the preparations for the 2030 World Cup.
20:32He highlighted the potential of this World Cup
20:36that goes beyond a simple sporting event.
20:39This event symbolizes, finally,
20:42a unique opportunity to strengthen the economic growth of Morocco.
20:49I wanted to come because, in fact, organizing such an event
20:54is not a small operation,
20:57it is a very large operation where the economic, social,
21:01and sporting factors will all be put side by side
21:05to actually give the image of this country.
21:08We are talking about the image of the Kingdom of Morocco
21:12compared to all the countries that will come.
21:15Because it is millions and millions of spectators,
21:19African, European, American, who will be there.
21:23And we had to give the image of what Morocco is.
21:28And today, the construction sites,
21:31because when we visit the big cities of Morocco,
21:34whether in Mohamedia, Casablanca, Rabat, the city of Fez, etc.,
21:39all the Moroccan cities function at the pace of what Morocco is experiencing
21:47through these large construction sites that are there.
21:50Football is not just the apparent part of the iceberg.
21:58In fact, behind, there are all the development sites
22:01that have been launched by the Kingdom of Morocco,
22:04by Moroccan companies, by Moroccan athletes.
22:08And we are going to live this way of doing things,
22:13and above all, we are going to live this capacity of the Kingdom of Morocco
22:18to be at the forefront of the scene.
22:20And I think that everything that has been done in terms of preparation,
22:24in terms of mobilization,
22:26truly explains what the Kingdom of Morocco will be like after this event.
22:33Because there is a before 2030 and an after.
22:36But even before the World Cup final,
22:41there is the African Cup, which is also going to prepare,
22:45it is a preparation that will allow the Kingdom of Morocco
22:48to show what it is capable of doing.
22:51The Sovereign has also given his high orientations in view of looking
22:55at a resumption of the National Authority for the Regulation of Electricity
23:00into a National Authority for the Regulation of the Energy Sector.
23:04What are your views on this transformation project?
23:10Listen, it is extraordinary.
23:13I wanted to talk about it because this National Authority for the Regulation of Electricity
23:20is an extremely important event.
23:23It will give the idea that Morocco is succeeding in something extraordinary.
23:32Electricity is something important.
23:36The reform has been underway for a while,
23:39and today this authority will intervene to show that the Kingdom of Morocco
23:45is today truly at the forefront of the scene
23:49in terms of the preparation of everything that is energy,
23:53of everything that is electricity.
23:55And this National Institute will precisely solve all these problems.
24:02Because when we talk about electricity,
24:04we are talking about water problems.
24:06We are talking about everything that revolves around this.
24:09And I think the decision that was taken was taken to give a new momentum,
24:15a new momentum to the Moroccan economy,
24:18and above all to give more means to the Kingdom of Morocco
24:23to fully play its role in the framework of this initiative
24:28that we are describing today.
24:31Electricity is not a simple technical reform.
24:36It is a reform that will give Morocco all the possibilities that are its own
24:42to react in this area.
24:49I think that what happened at the level of the two ministers' consensus
24:54gives exactly the reality of things,
24:57and finally the Kingdom of Morocco has succeeded with this event
25:02to give the image of a country that is preparing in a broad and important way
25:09for this global event,
25:11because the things that are going to happen
25:14will completely change the face of the Kingdom of Morocco
25:18and will really put it on an important launch pad.
25:24Mr. Idriss Eissaoui, thank you for all these details.
25:28Thank you for this insight.
25:30I remind you that you are a political analyst.
25:38This concludes this edition.
25:40Thank you for following it.
25:42Stay with us.
